Live With Purpose Church will hold the eighth annual Conestoga Fun Day on Sunday, June 9, at Safe Harbor Park, 5365 River Road, Conestoga. The rain-or-shine event will begin with an outdoor worship service from 10 to 11 a.m. After the service, attendees may enjoy free food and live entertainment and participate in various prize drawings and family-friendly activities until the event wraps up at 3 p.m.

Free meals will be offered to guests while supplies last, and meal options will include a hamburger or a hot dog. Each meal will come with sides such as chips and a beverage. Food will also be available to purchase from several food trucks, including Bricker's Famous French Fries, Kona Ice, Little Cotton Cart, Cowboy's Chicken BBQ and Mocha Motion Coffee.

Entertainment will comprise live music, a dance performance and an interactive Bible lesson with horses. Additional activities will take place throughout the day, such as pony rides and a dunk tank, where participants may take a shot at hitting a target to drop Live With Purpose's pastors into the water tank.

Prize drawings will include tickets to The Star Barn at Stone Gables Estate's Fourth of July celebration, passes to Longwood Gardens and other items donated by local businesses. Toys and small prizes will be offered at no cost to children who attend Conestoga Fun Day, and Live With Purpose Church will give away 60 bicycles during the event.

Various local nonprofits will be present to offer information and answer attendees' questions. In the past, organizations such as Safe Families for Children, the Conestoga Volunteer Fire Company and Good News Club have attended Conestoga Fun Day.

"It's a way for us to engage the community and families outside the congregation," said Shayla Henry, coordinator of the event and Live With Purpose Church's children's ministry director. "It's all hands on deck for everyone at our church to come volunteer and to bless those who live in our community." The church asks that participants register online prior to the event.
